Trash Nothing

API

Free API for accessing freecycling community items

Overview

Trash Nothing API provides RESTful access to its freecycling community’s database of thousands of daily posted free items. Endpoints include retrieving nearby items via location parameters, searching by category (e.g., furniture, electronics), and filtering by date posted. Responses are in JSON format, containing details like item title, description, location, and contact info (where allowed). Use cases: integrate into sustainable living apps, local community platforms, or personal tools to help users find free pre-loved items and promote reuse.
